In 1952, the standard offering was the Alvis TA21 Three-Litre with Drophead Coupé (DHC) versions built, almost exclusively, by Tickford
Built on a box-section chassis with independent coil-spring front suspension, the car was powered by a 2993cc overhead-valve straight-six producing 83-90bhp
Registered in 1952, Chassis #24813 has been family owned since 2007, with just four previous keepers. It was fully restored in the early 2000s by Red Triangle, well known for their long-standing expertise with the Alvis marque
Maintained by a respected Bath-based classic car specialist and regularly attended local car shows
Having seen limited recent use within the collection, light recommissioning may be required and viewing is highly recommended
With elegant Tickford coachwork, respected specialist restoration history and clear project potential, this attractive TA21 DHC presents an appealing opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a well-proportioned and historically interesting post-war British Grand Tourer
